The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) announced today that with effect from 2 July 2025, the position limits for the futures and options contracts of Hang Seng Index, Hang Seng China Enterprises Index and Hang Seng TECH Index will be increased by 50%, 108% and 43% respectively to 15,000, 25,000 and 30,000 position delta (Note 1).
"The increase in position limits will provide greater flexibility for market participants in their trading activities within the exchange market," said Mr Rico Leung, the SFC’s Executive Director of Supervision of Markets. “The changes reflect the SFC’s ability to achieve an optimal balance between mitigating systemic risk and promoting growth of Hong Kong’s financial market, thereby reinforcing the city’s position as an international financial centre.”
Note:
- On 30 April 2025, the SFC published conclusions to its consultation on proposed increase of position limits for exchange-traded derivatives based on Hang Seng Index, Hang Seng China Enterprises Index and Hang Seng TECH Index.
